DNMC - Somehow, I don't think purple or yellow is a shade of grey between black & white. The center is nicely in focus, and the reflection in the center is interesting.
i think you may have broke the rules here?
i think it was supposed to be black n white only.
i didnt report it. I figure if this slips past good for you.
ill give you a hmmm, i gotta go with four. i almost called it a five, but the composition is not that interesting to me. maybe if the center of the flower was off to the side a little bit, with some of the petal tips reaching into the open space i would find it more apealing.. hmmm, just not all that original either, mostly becouse of the straight in angle. Its hard to interst me with something shot so often, though it does work well for the challenge.
good luck to you anyhow. i do like that color purple
Description of challenge: "The final photo MUST be in black and white (and the grays in between)." I've gotta vote you lower because of the color. Bummer... I'm sorry. :(
